At parkrun we work very closely and in partnership with our sponsors and supporters. Together we have been successful in developing a unique partnership where our partners secure the operational costs of parkrun allowing parkrun to operate a no cost to the runner model.

This unusual, innovative and inventive method of partnership is delivering unbelievable results in the community. Grassroots sport has never witnessed collaboration of this nature before.

The benefits to all parkrunners are that you get the running experience you want with a very light touch from adidas, Sweatshop and Lucozade Sport.

I couldn’t be more delighted with the team work that all the partners put in to ensure that parkrun is always seen as "by the community, for the community".

Obviously, the benefits to parkrunner is often much greater because when it really counts our sponsors always come up trumps with something to keep you interested or tickle your fancy.

visit sponsors page	An example of this is the Sweatshop Monthly Shoe Prize. Sweatshop provides a pair of shoes to each event in the UK every month as a reward for exceptional achievement. We're not talking about breaking world records although if that did happen we would have to consider it as exceptional. No, this prize is focused on the grassroots athlete, perseverance and personal achievement. So at each event director's discretion, a winner is chosen each month.
